Hello bdju,

Cuirass can't manage to build kicad¹ also.  Comparing to the previous
build², libngspice has been updated from version 28 to 34³ and the
content of thoses 2 version are drasticly different, so I guess it's the
issue.  In particular the /gnu/store/...-libngspice-34/include/config.h
seems suspicious.

I tried bumping kicad to the latest 5.10, but it didn't make a
difference.

Hi,

I found suggestions that disabling --with-readline in libngspice should
work around the issue, though I couldn't test it yet. This seems to be
a problem in version 34 specifically. Downgrading to 33 could also
work.

Good catch. Indeed, that file should be removed.

Kicad takes a long time to build on my machine. I am attaching a diff
that removes config.h and should fix the compilation if anyone can
confirm.

I tried applying your diff and with it kicad compiles fine and works.
Could you send a formatted patch?

Done.

I am sending the two changes in different patches because I read in [1]
that KiCad uses config.h to extract version information about ngspice.
If simulations are working without config.h, then both patches can be
pushed. The history_file problem in the KiCad compilation is related to
readline only.

Sending a v2 removing readline from inputs because it's unused now.
